According to the CDC, you should also chemically treat your water with commercially available Iodine, Clorine, or Clorine Dioxide tablets, or by using Clorine Bleach (unscented) or Iodine.
SODIS (SOlar DISinfection) is another good method, and can be used without a filter, but is more effective with the filter. SODIS requires CLEAR PET water bottles, CLEAR water, and 6 hours of sunlight. It used the Sun''s UV-A rays to kill bacteria and viruses.This is a great little item for your go bag. It gives great peace of mind to know that I have access to drinkable water in any emergency situation.Seems to work great. tried filtering some water from a pond and the water came out really clear, I would still boil the water before drinking though...
